Overseas Investors Request London Stadium Feasability Study

Submitted by akira andersson on Wed, 28/02/2018 - 12:56

A major building facilitation company have been asked to draw up a feasibility study as to the actual cost of converting the white elephant that is the London Stadium in to a football stadium fit for purpose, it is not known as yet whether the request has the backing of the West Ham United hierarchy but as they are only anchor tenants their hands are tied when it comes to the actual building. The investment group is comprised mainly of Chinese businessmen with the notable exception of one, Kia Joorabchian! Joorabchian's MSI company are no strangers to West Ham United take over attempts, and the fact that recent arrival 'super' Mario's loan spell from Inter Milan was brokered by Kia Joorabchian will not have gone unnoticed by some, and the similarities with the arrival at the Old Boleyn of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano brokered by MSI are astounding.

Joorabchian has long coveted owning a high profile Premier League team and West Ham are right up his street, cash strapped with a need for new investment. Ideal candidates for a 'passive/aggressive' take over which works this way: Investment company take a less than controlling stake in the club allowing a steady flow of funds, however there is a caveat. Using a scheme known as 'green labeling' the new investors release money in tranches on the condition that the majority stake holder invests the equivalent on a quid pro quo basis in the club, the idea being the shares grow in value to such an extent that the minority share holding becomes worth a lot more money than the original investment. Shares have to be offered back to the majority shareholders at a 'beneficial' discount, but this means leaving the club needing to either refinance or accept a non majority stake.

If this sounds all smoke and mirrors that is because the murky world of share trading and company acquisitions is mired with subterfuge and false trails, anyone who has tried to research M.S.I (media sports investments) will confirm just how difficult discovering the truth can be. The situation has a further twist because of the mayor of London Sadiq Khan's desire to get the London Stadium of the tax payer's books as soon as possible, MSI have access to massive funding and a deal could be brokered as soon as this April should initial negotiations prove fruitful, there is a desire from all parties to turn the ironic stadium into the iconic stadium it should have been had it not been for the meddling of Lord Coe and his cronies.

Before fans celebrate potential new investors, it should be remembered what happened the last time 'new investors' came in to the club in the form of Eggert Magnussen and the bankrupt Icelandics, that all ended badly didn't it? In addition there were the punitive and swingeing fines administered by the FA for fielding the ineligible Carlos Tevez that cost the club in excess of £30 Million in fines and compensation to Sheffield United.

Now who was it who brokered those deals, do you get that Dejavu feeling? It seems to occur to West Ham fans more than any others doesn't it? - Ed

Is to turn the stadia into a proper football ground..see my post showing the russian conversion showing how it can be done.....lord coe may hate it but athletics is not enough to keep this white elephant going and i am pretty sure in the long run the mayor will get rid.

Dont see why its goin to cost around £300mill sure isnt all they have to do is dig down a few feet and put in a few more seats thet can start with those two in the shed on the vidio ,tenner each now theres a score saved straight away

Don't get me wrong -- it can be done, it may be done, but there is so much murky business in the air about MSI. This is really scary stuff. Is it out of the frying pan into the fire? It would be nice to know who has the most leverage in this situation. The City of London seems to be over a barrel. What about SUGO?

Apparently cos of Brady meeting the organisers & "promising" to make changes...though what if the board carry out their usual tactic of burying their head in the sand & doing nothing??Strange decision imo...
